I Did It, After 1.5k Hours I Finally DID NOT Ascend Astarion.

I did it, after 1.5k hours I finally DID NOT ascend Astarion.

Never felt more disgusted in my life when playing a game lol. How is that supposed to be the "good" ending? All I heard from him (on a romance path too) is him horribly coping.

At first I failed to pick right options during the Cazador scene and he fucking just left and I was like "you know what, yeah, he should dump Tav's ass for this" and my bf spent at least 30 mins trying to convince me to reroll a save and do it right (I wanted at least one goody-two-shoes playthrough).

Epilogue is so horribly unrewarding too. The romance path ends up with just him... barely even acknowledging the relationship (big big contrast from Ascended where he constantly reminds Tav that they are together) and there's only one miserable "uwu" line when asked about what Tav is to him?

I legitimately don't get how people prefer this. I feel icky for not Ascending him and I'm never doing it again but at least I did it once to have all the save files for reference and I guess that's enough.

Yuck.

Astarion as castlevanias dracula, started out as a study since I feel like I always draw his face weird but oh well

behold. powerful ascended Astarion
